The new Mario Kart 7 is due to release in December for Nintendo 3DS, just in time for the holiday season. A new accessory from Hori is also being released at about the same time as Mario Kart 7, it is a 3DS compatible steering wheel. It’s priced at ¥1,280 (about $17). Very similar concept to the Wii Steering wheel often used with the Wii remote and Mario Kart Wii.
Nintendo’s latest handheld console isn’t doing that well in the US, so its no wonder that Nintendo have decided to team up with major store Best Buy to boost sales.

Don’t you just hate it when you have to wear glasses on top of your normal glasses just to watch a movie that’s in 3D? Why do we need to work around the tele and not vice versa? I reckon the creators of Nintendo’s latest handheld console had the same question. At the E3, Nintendo unveiled yesterday its newest handheld console, and yes it’ll do 3D.
Called the Nintendo 3DS, the new handheld even has a camera that can take 3D pictures, and it’ll be able to play 3D movies. So it sounds like 3D gaming, 3D photography is the way to go forward? The best bit – no more glasses.
All the 3D will appear on the top 3.5-inch widescreen display, while a lower, square-shaped touchscreen on the bottom is in 2D. In addition to the theme of 3D, the new 3DS will sport a new analog stick, a 3D depth-control slider and have home and start buttons moved to the bottom of the unit.
